No Difference.

Some of our Democratic contempora-
ries are congratulating themselves that
Sherman will be the Republican nomi-
nee for President, and that in his candi-
dacy, and that of President Cleveland,
the issue will be fairly presented if
strife or peace, and that the country,
tired of strife, will go with whoop for
Cleveland. Blaine will be the Republi-
can candidate, as sure as he lives, but in
his person, the same issue will be as
presented. The warf and wool
of every speech he has made since 1884,
is bloody shirt. The tickets will be
and Blaine; and Cleveland
will pull through like fash without
the aid of old Burchard's foolishness.

The Coffee Corner.

The advance in the price of coffee is a
serious problem in many households.
Within twelve months, it has advanced
more than 100 per cent. Innocent
sufferers are inquiring the cause. 1t is
given as follows:
Increase of consumption; gambling in
the product, melted mainly by untrust-
worthy crop reports; shortness of the
Brazil crop, estimated as high as 1 900,
900 bags; short crops in Java and Cey-
lon,. East Indies, caused by the coffee
leaf disease.
As usual, when scarcity of an article
of necessity is apparent, cunning specu-
lators seize the opportunity to corner
the market, and accumulate their gains
at the expense of the public. The Soon
federates," who learned to do without
s-pure coffee" during the late unpleasant
ness, may profit by their former expert
ence

THE prediction that law regulating
Interstate Commerce would discourage
railroad building, has been falsiied.
The Rail,cay Age publishes returns for
the first five months of 1887, covering q
period of five months, showing that
during that time more mileage of road
has been constructed in the country
than during any other corresponding
period, except the year 1882. Equally
false, as the public has seen, was the
doleful prediction that State supervision
would proven. railroad building. Il has
contrary effect. Just and reasonable
supervision really creates healthy SEN
timent and imparts confidence.

No Passes Asked for.

General Manager John c. Gault, of
the Queen and Crescent system, informs
the Meridian Nelos, by way of reply to
recent structures in that journal, that he
had "no notice that there was to be
meeting of the Mississippi Press Associ-
alton at Meridian, and that had we been
advised of it, we should most certainly
have offered the members free transport
tation within the State of Mississippi,
the same as we have done elsewhere"
The members of the Association were
notified by its Secretary-if We are not
mistaken-that the V. & M. declined to
issue passes, and the reduced rate certif-
icates were not recognized by the agent
at Meridian because he had mo instruc-
tions." There appears to have been a
hitch all around, but the brethren "paid
Gheir fare and went" all the same.

Latest Speculations About the Su-
preme Court Vacancy.
Special to The Times-Democrat.1
A POSSIBLE SOLUTION.

Special to The Times-Democrat
WASHINGTON. June 11.-With the
return of the President there is a re-
newal of the speculation touching the
Supreme Court vacancy. Notwith.
standing the efforts now on foot in
behalf of distinguished lawyers in sew
eral of the Southern States, the impress
sion is strong here that Secretary Lamar
can have the place if he desires it. 1t
is even said that the place has been
offered him, and that the object of his
present visit home is to consult with
his friends relative to the matter The
opinion is expressed by Southern men
here, that the appointment would suit
Mr.. Lamar in every particular. He mas
had all of the honors within reasonable
reach on the political field, and a life
place on the bench, with high dignity and
a comfortabie salary attached would, It'll
thought, round off his career precisely
20 his taste.
Mr.. Lamar is sixty-two years of age
but is man of extraordinary vigor
and should he go upon the bench would
probably serve the country at least ff-
teen years there. He is expected to
return here in few DAYS.
A Southerner discussing the situation
to-day, was asked as to the succession
of the Interior Department, in the event
of Mr.. Lamar's appointment to the
bench. He replied: Assistant Secretary
Muldrow would fill the place most &C.
ceptably; he possesses fine executive
ability and enjoys Mr.. Lamar's conf
dence to the fullest degree. The Presi
dent could find no better man."

Speaking out in Meetin'

The Charleston Courier, replying to
characteristic threats of a Northern
journal that Northern immigrants will
not come to the South so long as South
ern lawlessness continues, says:
Our contemporary will pardon us if we
speak out plainly" again. While con-
demning lawlessness always, whether it
take the form of an occasional lynching In
South Carolina, or the frequent murder of
young girls in Massachusetts, we are not
deploring the absence of Northern Immi-
grafton, on any account. Industrious,
honest and intelligent immigrants are well
come in South Carolina, whatever their
politics, and will always be welcome.
There is plenty Of room for them, if they
come. They will not be missed if they
stay away.
We heartily second this response. We
are glad to have Northern immigration,
and believe the inducements which the
South presents in the warm-heartedness
of her people, the richness and variety
of her soil and productions, and the
I salubrity of her climate, will bring i'm
migration from that section. But we
utterly despise the 'hoIier than thou"
cant of the pharisees who make it their
daily business to lecture the South. To
one who is conversant with current
events, the pretension Of superior devo-
ton to goodness in the North excites
amazement and derision. In proportion
to population, the lawlessness in the
North is many fold greater than in the
South. There is something in the at
mosphare of that section that breeds
cranks and tramps and all manner of cru
elites and crimes While we are writing
we have before US New York paper
with terrible recital of barbarities
committed in the coal regions of Penn

united in presenting the name of Sena-
tor ]. z. George for the vacancy exist
ing, and recognizing his high qusli6ca-
tions and eminent fitness for the dis
charge of the grave and responsible
duties of the position, and from our
long and familiar acquaintance with
him as lawyer, Judge of the Supreme
Court of this State and Senator in the
Senate of the United States, we are
justified in the opinion that as a Judge
on the Bench of the Supreme Court of
the United States he will be found
capable, faithful and honest; wherefore
be it

NIT to President Cleveland the name of
Senator J. z. George for favorable con-

matter of Interstate Commerce. One of
them is to the effect that State cannot
tax the receipts of a transportation COM
